Son of a Boy Dad #377: Even Stevens
Release Date: February 19, 2026
Host: Barstool Sports
Participants: Francis, Harry (Lil Sasquatch), Bo (Rone)

Episode Overview

In this playful and meandering episode, the guys explore life lessons, personal histories, and the quirks of adulthood. Fresh off Lil Sasquatch's (Harry’s) recent college dropout, the focus is on navigating the world, filling the "education gap," and discovering what it means to be a man. The conversation bounces from nostalgia about sports gear and New England hockey lore to debates on government, fishing trips, wedding fantasies, and run-ins with NYC’s grumpiest New Yorkers. The tone is irreverent, self-deprecating, and packed with in-jokes, as the hosts riff on everything from family gloves to “bull trout” and dream celebrity wedding guests.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Great "Stevens" Hockey Debacle (01:28–13:00)

• Czech/Slovak confusion starts the show, morphing into a long, comic tangent about two guys named Ryan Stevens—both of whom allegedly have NHL dads.
• Francis and Bo realize each went to school with a "Ryan Stevens," each with a hockey legend father: Scott and Kevin Stevens. They try to figure out if the two dads are related (they’re not), riffing on classic New England/Ivy League hockey lore.
• Notable quote:
  • “We might be blowing up, like, a whole secret family that this guy has, but he named them both the same thing.” – Harry (07:14)

2. Baseball Glove Nostalgia & How to Break Stuff In (02:13–05:37)

• The guys wax poetic about breaking in their dad’s baseball gloves—with various “weird” techniques from under the mattress to conditioner and personal “basket weaving” skills for lacrosse sticks.
• Quote:
  • “Are dads supposed to have baseball gloves? Like, am I supposed to have a baseball glove to give my kids?” – Harry (03:56)

3. East Coast Hockey and Ivy League Name-Dropping (06:02–13:40)

• Bo and Francis show off New England and Ivy school roots, talking about hockey dynasties, the Beanpot tournament, and legendary players: “My guy ended Eric Lindros’s career,” says Bo (11:39). “My guy played with Mario Lemieux!” retorts Francis (11:35).
• Sets the tone for the episode’s competitive, tongue-in-cheek back-and-forth.

4. Weather Complaints, Government Size, and Snow Shoveling Logic (15:00–17:32)

• NYC snow day means complaining about street cleaning and government roles—satirical takes on “small government” people now demanding public services.
• Bo: “Big government cleans up the snow. You can’t be complaining about the snow not getting cleaned up and being a small government guy.”
• They riff about snowed-in cars being “mosquitos in amber.”
• Quote:
  • “It’s like free parking.” – Francis (17:15)

5. Dreaming of Banff, Patagonia, & Fish Week (19:01–22:36)

• The hosts fantasize about a Banff, Alberta fishing and skiing trip—“Banff is the white whale for Fish Week.”
• Jokes about “bull trout” (are they endangered or everywhere?), and getting roasted by listeners for fishing takes.
• They compare Banff with Patagonia for the ultimate manly adventure.
• Quote:
  • “People were mad that we didn’t call Dave, like, fat and gross enough either… Dave’s fat and gross. Are you happy?” – Harry (20:11)

6. Wedding Fantasies & Co-Wedding Logistics (23:45–27:21, 67:52–71:20)

• Spirals into a surreal fantasy about Bo’s (Rone’s) “next wedding”—should it be “huge or humble?” Fireworks? At the Garden? Guest list stacked with Yankees?
• Later, they float the idea of a double “co-wedding” to pool star power: “If we collabed, we could get more celebs… co-headline the wedding,” Bo (70:44).
• Serving “bull trout” and “eagle jerky” as wedding meals as a flex, with tongue-in-cheek disdain for endangered species catering.

7. Animal Riffs: Eagles, Wolves, and Liam Neeson Survival Strategies (27:11–30:46)

• Gags about “trimming” the bald eagle population, killing wolves (for fun, obviously) with grapes or “burn books,” and breaking down wild animal “thick skin” myths.
• Reference Liam Neeson's movie The Grey: “Did you ever see that Liam Neeson movie where he fights the wolves?” – Bo (28:22)
• Memorable banter:
  • “Who was talking about wolves? That… you’re supposed to cut the wolves tongue… then they start licking themselves and bleed out.” – Harry (29:41)

8. New York City Grit: Crackheads, Subways, and Cab Drama (34:14–39:45, 52:03–54:16)

• Several stories about run-ins with erratic subway passengers (“You smell them before you see ‘em”), the etiquette of dealing with aggressive panhandling, the defensive choices (“You can’t fight with a coat on now”), and an Uber ride that turns spicy with middle fingers and threats.
• Francis: “That job [Uber/cab driver] has to be up there with the stress levels of the people outside LaGuardia blowing a whistle.” (53:46)

9. Nostalgia: Nerf Guns, BB Guns, and VCRs (41:56–43:32, 64:39–65:08)

• Reminiscing about old toys: Nerf, Airsoft, BB guns, and how parent rules shaped their childhood.
• Rivaling friends for the “movie picker,” raiding grandpa’s BB gun, and arguing about who actually used a VCR.

10. Inside the Restaurant World: 11 Madison Park and Wine Pairings (55:32–63:01)

• Bo shares a wild fine dining experience at New York's Eleven Madison Park, flexing on going behind the scenes, tasting rare beers, making espresso with master baristas, and learning latte art with the staff clapping (“That doesn’t look like a heart!”).
• Notable moment:
  • “But to make a cappuccino from the 11 Madison park gear with their staff in front of them was like a highlight…of my coffee life.” – Bo (61:09)

11. Oscars, Podcast Awards, and Lent Practices (31:40–33:31)

• Discuss the Oscars, paying to submit podcasts for awards, Rogan not submitting, and Lent—Harry gets "drive by ashed" by a priest and considers giving up alcohol. (He fails instantly with a Hennessy cupcake.)

12. Classic Movie Recommendations & Debates (61:54–64:07)

• Hype for “In Bruges,” the Martin McDonagh cinematic universe (Seven Psychopaths, Banshees of Inisherin), The Town, and tales of group movie night politics.

  • “Have you ever even seen a VCR?” – Bo (64:38)
